Black Crow Blues
Rick Ford

I got a black crow on my shoulder, there's a black dog in my head
Yeah I got a black crow on my shoulder, and a black dog in my head
Sometimes I get to thinking, I'd be better off dead.

'Cos you said you never loved me, our life was just a lie
You said you never loved me, 19 years was just a lie,
Now everyplace I go, I hang my head and cry

That sonofabith come crawling, sniffin' round my door,
Crawlin' and sniffin', can't leave you alone,
You can have him if you want him, I can't love you no more

My heart is sinkin', sinkin' like a stone,
Yeah, my heart is sinkin', sinkin' like a stone,
'Cos though tonight we're together,
By sunrise I'll be on my own

Coffee on the table, eggs frying in the pan,
But without you beside me, I've forgotten who I am
Yea coffee's on the table, I got two eggs frying in the pan,
But without you beside me, I'm only half of what I am

Well whisky is my best friend, never lets me down
And if you really want to help me, just pass the bottle round
If the river was made of whisky, I'd jump right in and drown
